Compaction ( Soil Compaction) is the process of applying energy to loose soil to consolidate it and remove any voids, thereby increasing the density and consequently its load-bearing capacity.

Why is Compaction necessary?

Soil compaction is defined as the method of mechanically increasing the density of soil. In construction, this is a significant part of the building process. If performed improperly, settlement of the soil could occur and result in unnecessary maintenance costs or structure failure. Almost all types of building sites and construction projects utilize mechanical compaction techniques.
